Regarding the proposed change for moving Cumberland, Hornby and Denman Islands and other southern areas including Fanny Bay into a new provincial riding: The decision to do this based on provincial district population averages is faulty reasoning. There is an existing distinct economic, cultural, political and geographic region known as the Comox Valley, that includes Cumberland, Hornby and Denman Islands and other areas southward. Your decision to alter political boundaries creates a hardship for citizens to access their MLA, and interferes with provincial representation about common regional issues.
